Asking Alexandria's Danny Worsnop is writing a book. Looks promising.

Asking Alexandria frontman Danny Worsnop has posted an excerpt from his forthcoming book, Am I Insane?

I actually read this excerpt, though I must admit that I'm left scratching my head a bit. He writes as if he's been a superstar for decades: "I entered this world kicking and screaming, knowing nothing of how fucking important my being alive was going to be to so many people."

How fucking important are you, Danny? I have no idea. Certainly more important than I, but certainly less humble.

Perhaps he does have decades of mileage:

Now, at the age of 21, I have toured the world and sang my songs to enough people to populate a small country. I've overcome a cocaine addiction that should've killed me and alcoholism that almost did. I've loved, lost and loved again. In fact, I've fallen in love with almost as many women as I've fallen into bed with and we will for now, just file that under the category of "HOW MANY?!"

I mean, this guy has a right to put out any book he desires, and I'm sure thousands of people will read it. There's just no way that a 21 year-old can write a book pondering his own existence in such narcissistic terms and not sound like, well, a narcissist.
Here's a telling passage:

These days, I reside happily in my Brobdingnagian world of beautiful music, beautiful women and a beautiful bank account, but it wasn't always so… My family was a completely ordinary one. Average money, average house, average cars, average grades, average life… Average… If there's one thing I've grown to detest more than anything else on this celestial orb we call home, it's 'average.' Don't get me wrong, I wish not for a past riddled with poverty, but there is nothing more dull and uninspiring than 'average' and anyone who has experienced it in large doses will verify that in a heartbeat.

So how, out of such ordinariness, did I become something so spectacularly not average and ordinary?

What the hell happens in brain, in my DNA, in my very soul, that separated me from everything I was expected to be?

These are questions that will be pondered by many great minds for many years to come. Or not.

at least when wes eisold put out a book, there was something to it, oh, and he was/is in much better bands as well. if you buy this book you are fcking stupid, I'm right, you're wrong if you disagree, suck my dck foodstamp.

well at least it's refreshing to see what really goes on in a celebrity's (i'm granting this douchenozzle alot of leeway with the term) head for a change. most have the common sense to get a ghost writer though

ALL OF YOU ARE JUST HATERS BECAUSE HES MORE SUCCESSFULL THAN ALL OF YOU. BUT ALL OF YOU WOULDNT SAY IT TO HIS FACE. GROW SONE BALLS AND DONT POST YOUR COMMENT AS ANONYMOUS. HE IS A REMARKABLE PERRSON THAT HAS OVERCAME MANY OBSTACLES IN HIS LIFE, DONT JUDGE HIM FOR IT. BE HAPPY THAT HES NOT A COCAINE ADDICT ANYMORE AND HE OVERCAME HIS ALCOHOL ADDICTION. SOO fck ALLA YALL HATERS. DANNY IS MY HERO <3

Danny is an amazing person just like anyone, he can make mistakes, only because he says wrong things or whatever you might think doesn't make him a gay. He is a human being and he has inspired a lot of people including me. Stop hating on him because he is just expressing what he feels.

No you didn't you guys wanna look me up on instagram. We actually love danny and want to support him. Everyone makes mistakes and it takes a brave person to admit them. So fck alla y'all haters. Were gonna buy his book y'all don't have too. And he doesnt need y'all to be more succesful. And y'all are also jealous cause he looks better than y'all.

holy shit a lot of people overcome addiction, most of them should have overdosed in my honest opinion but hey, who cares right? Self important jerk, nobody will buy this dck lover's book and more importantly I hope he relapses and dies, do heroin you pssy.

I will buy it and all of his fans will, I bet you wouldn't say all of that to his face pssy. Your just jealous because he's more successful than you. But its okayy , watch his book be very successful. Screw all of you haters. Danny is my hero and I support him 100% . Thankss (:

This guy is a fcking tool. I don't care how many little girls he's date beatd stick up for him. A "genius" at the recorder? HAHAHA Soooo fcking full of himself. I've toured the world too and done way more drugs than this jerk but I'm not self indulgent enough to write a book about it. His photography SUCKS too. Thanks a lot, digital age. Now everyone with a 10 megapixel SLR thinks they're Helmut Newton. I hope to meet him one day, just so I can laugh in his ugly face.

He is not ugly, I bet he looks better than you. The whole band is sexy. Soo stop talkin shit. And he's writing about his life because people actually look up to him and love him. I know I do. Soo stop hating on him because he can get more girls than youu. Watch his book be successful :D

His band is amazing and I'm not a gay. His band is very successful and everyone loves them. I have listened to many metal bands and they are my favorite. Soo stop being a hater and say it to his face. I wanna watch him beat your ass ;D

First, this person is a fcking stranger to the real world. His choices to see his life as average are just that. HIS CHOICES, HIS HOME. All without the slightest understanding that his opinions are the least important thing to you, me, the reader, etc... Use this book to entertain your friends. By the way... to the poor girls that defend him, and the fools that attach themselves to him to get his sloppy seconds: LOOK UP HISTRIONIC PERSONALITY DISORDER.

He's writing a book? Oh god, with what knowledge? He's not even in a good band. He's making pssy music. Not even real metal. No amount of fan bitches can dispute that. Make some good metal before you make a book.the book is basically a monument to his doucheness. I think I got cancer from reading the exert though. This ass face should not make a book or music.

I dont get why all of you are bashing Danny. if he wants to write a book, so fcking be it. leave him alone and get on with your own lives. if you don't like it just don't read it, it's that simple. I would read the book. Just chill and stop hating and go listen to some music or something.

One need only read the defensive replies from his supporters to see that he owes his fame (as does the entire sub-genre) to teenagers who have not yet developed their sense of sniffing out fraudulent entertainers with bloated egos. They'll buy the book because it puts them in his shoes and gives them a taste of what it's like to be marginally famous. It's all that matters to highschool kids.

I bet all the dumb c*nts (though I think it's really just one who's defending him...over and over) who stick up for him are all Johnny Craig fans too. LOL @ "Why you hatin', haters!" STFU wigger suburb pieces of upper middle class shit! Thank you Blood on the Dance Floor for making white kids think it's cool to act like a sage F A G G O T!

But you hatin'! You just make him more famous then HATERS! Ugh, go listen to Brokencyde you stupid, stupid little girl.

Sad. So sad. Danny Worsnop is actually a good writer yet you all shoot him down for trying? What are you accomplishing with your lives? Nothing, thats all, you guys are all retarded and need to learn what he has gone through first, I hope each and everyone one of you go through the same hardships Danny has and I hope none of you make it, no matter how harsh that sounds but thats how you all sound talking down upon him.

"but there is nothing more dull and uninspiring than 'average' and anyone who has experienced it in large doses will verify that in a heartbeat. " so are they calling the new album "average"? because thats what i feel when i hear their music, dull and uninspired. I would much rather a whole lot of nothing than to hear more from this band.

Why don't you little Danny fans get off his dck and recognize real talent. Tim Lembesis has more talent then this never was gay. 21 and he thinks he's been around the block, also acts like he's a lyrical genius, you guys are bitches. If I saw Danny in person I'd do more then tell him what I think, I'll fcking kick the bitch in his crease and you fans, I would put my dck in your ears and you'll hear better stories/music. You pretentious bastards know nothing of good music.

um, yeah hes got an ego the size of the universe and shouldn't have written a book about himself....but i saw asking alexandria before they were famous dont troll and hate on someone who is more famous than you or makes/likes a different genera of music than you that makes you just as bad

Danny is amazing. I for one can not wait to read his book. If you guys don't like him then why on earth did you even come to this page. If you don't like him, don't read anything about it. It's simple really. Because many people actually do like him and his music, and want to know his story. Have you negative people on this page really got nothing better to do with your lives than to write shit about another person? Haha. Go on Danny.

I still support AA, but no longer will i defend danny's cowardness. i once believed he was a decent person when i met him, but turns out he's a total fcking asswipe who only cares for himself. please go kill yourself, i am soo over your ginger ass.

Honestly,you all need to fck off and quit talking shit,I know he's a little full of himself,but there's nothing wrong with having confidence.Dannys been through a lot of shit,he had a drug and drinking problem but he's now clean,he did it for his fans,it's not easy overcoming addictions so I respect him for doing that and I love Danny.His music is amazing,idgaf what anyone says,I fckin love that band,and everything about Danny,I hope to meet him someday:3

Seriously!?!? why are you all hating on Danny? YES, he has went through some things, but we all do. I for one dont understand why you are all hating on Danny, when he did nothing to you. I think his book sounds amazing, and if you dont want to read it, dont. JUST STOP HATING ON DANNY, YOU ARE OVBIOUSLY ALL JEALOUS OF HIM!!! and dont say to go die, someone might be suicidal,and accually kill them selves.

i think hes gone through enough to know what hes talking about, dont just tell him to die, you dont know him and you dont know what he has been through, he may only be 21 but i bet thats a hell of a lot older than most of you posting pathetic comments on here, go away and dont come back, thanks.

Really! You guy think you know everything, im sure danny had a fcking harder life then all of you ass holes, its cool that he feels he can share his life with this fcking world. I think inside hes really good person unlile all the haters that just want to bash on someone to make them selfs feel better. Danny I think your amazing I cant wait to read this book.

I think all you haters are fcking gayots and ypu all probally one dwrection fans ypu gays, your all just jealise little jurks that nees to grow up. Were bot in jr high any more danny and aa are amazing. I will suport them any day. They changed my lifeY dont you hate on ypur selfs your the little fckers that meed help.

I hope all you haters choke on your own dcks, you all need to stop talking shit everyone makes mistakes, and y dont you little fckers all die the world would be better with out haters like you. Everyone is differant we have to be, cuz if not we would go nowhere. Danny there is people that love and care about you and are happy your getting better. Cant wait to have a life full of aa, you guys make everything better, and thank you danny for being you

Danny, im so happy your here to day. Life would not be the same with out you. Dont listen to the litttle jurks that need to grow up and get on with life. Danny I met you after one of your shows and it was so cool how much you talked with me. Your sweet and I cant wait to go to another consert and support aa. I love you guys. Aa has been my favorite band scence 2009. Keep up with you music I cant wait to hear more. And I loved the book. Thank you for putting your zelf out there like that.

Why do people fell the need to hate? Is it like some jr high thing, cause if so get a life. You haters are nothing. If you going to talk shit dont be a pssy and hide behind you phones and computers, I.dare you to go up to an asking alexandria fan and tell then what you wrote. If you cant do that you should be ashamed of yourselfs.

Everyone commenting bashing this man about how he thinks he knowsand stuff but i bet none of these people are scholars or even listen to what this man says or speaks of in his songs, hes a great man and a profit and i bet hes accomplished more than any of these people ever will and is doin a great job at what he does, which is folling rock n roll. rock n roll is about rebelling and doing dub shit and whatever you want and thats a quote from this great man Danny Worsnop

okay, for one, how dare you? i'm 13, and i've had alot of experiences, i mean everyone is a little clueless, but that doesn't mean there not smart. he has changed my life, so please, just go away hate mail.

Why is everyone slating Danny? None of you know him? Danny is big headed, but he's sarcastic and funny, only some people can understand his sarcasm. I should know, I've met him. If any of you would have met him and would of had the guts to tell him these things to his face (which most of you wouldn't of) he would of parred you off and made you look like an absolute tool, that boy can really defend himself. Not like he'd have to anyway, he's better than all of the anons failing to criticize him.

alright fck every single one of you pricks i dont see you almost dying and living to tell about it. dubasses you would know greatness if it hit you in your fcking worthless face. go killl yourselves every single one of you. thank you and have a grnd fcking day

alright fck every single one of you pricks i dont see you almost dying and living to tell about it. dubasses you wouldnt know greatness if it hit you in your fcking worthless face. go killl yourselves every single one of you. thank you and have a grnd fcking day.......

Okay look here you little pricks you are only shitting on him because he is more of a success than you. So what if he is only 21? He has probably experienced more troubles and problems than you ever will over your whole life time. If they can write a fictional book on a imaginary god who is so holy and crap why can't a 21 year old musician do it? You say he shouldn't of done it but you don't have the right to tell people what they fcking can or can't do.

Alright reading all the comments I thought I'd add my two cents in there, my personal view that his first album was good but he couldn't really sing second one was better third one amazing but... As much as I love his music... This book is just aweful he makes him self look like an ass that's full of his self,he's literary skills are almost at a 6th grade level, the book will be interesting to read to gain information about his life but besides that, I wouldn't recommend it.

For all u ppl talk shit u must not know the true meaning of music and y would u talkin shit bout him if u were over coming all those addictions I'm pretty suree u wouldnt see ppl talking shit bout u so Stfu and and go sck a dck u guys r jealous of how he's amazing singer and u guys r just a lonely loser with no life

hes just come to realize what other people havent. hes sobered up quite a bit... when you recover from things like that, you learn things about yourself you didnt before. on the note of his "self-loathing" id love myself after what hes put himself through too, and come out alive..? Cant wait to read it! huge fan Danny :)

Im a fan of Asking Alexandria, but I know for a fact that Danny is really big headed about himself. what do you expect? Most famous people with basically an unlimited amount of money do get overpowered by fame. Although he is big headed and likes to know more than you, I respect him. Its not like he doesn't have an excuse of being how he is. You do realise he was a target for bullying in his earlier days.

Wow! Can't wait for this book to come out! I've been to the book store today and a shitload of people were giving their cell numbers to the employee telling him to call them first as soon as the book is released! We love you Danny!

DAMN. Almost all the comments are of hate, he's writing to find himself. He's writing to express himself! Just as he does with his music. He may only be 21 but i assure you, he has loads more expreience in life than half of you..

Why are we all giving him such a hard time? I mean, yes he is to young to be writing an auto-biography, but honestly I would just let it go. I'm a big fan of Asking Alexandria and I welcome free speech, and I could give to flying fcks about what you say, but what's with all the hurt? What if you were Danny? What if you went through what he went through? You'd probably have killed yourself already. You guys can continue to say what you have to say, but I'm gonna read this damn book.

Alright, I absolutely LOVE Asking Alexandria. I would fck Danny. But he just dosen't get, that he is 21. Not 50. He is not as wise as he thinks. But yes, he has overcome some horrible stuff, and he writes amazing music. I love you Danny <33

Asking Alexandria is an amazing fcking band. Danny is amazing, he has overcome so many fcking obsticals in his life. He was dealt with drugs, alchohal, women, and shit. Danny is fcking just amazing. I would fck him any day. And all you who says other wise can burn in hell. I love Danny, and Asking Alexandria. He has done nohting wrong. So fck all of you c*nts. I love you Danny. <33 Catt

you all are judgemental pricks. seriosly hes been a long way. worked harder than any of you to get where he is. read some lyrics of his. poetry. what gives you ther right to judge this man for doing somthing he has right to? that was a small part of the book.

Phil Collins is a genius leave the guy alone!! So what he's bald I bet he is hung like a rhino and fcks like one too, just thinking about him gets me wet, but seriously what's this about? Something to do with living up north? Well I'm from down south, 25, I could write a book on similar subjects and addiction and I wish I could be famous enough to share my experiences so people would learn from them and not follow in the footsteps of people like me, maybe I could have given him some pointers

Honestly, I do not understand why you guys are freaking out about this. So what if he's only now 22 and he's going to write a book reminiscing on his life so far. To some people it will be an inspiration.And to those of you who are hating on Danny and calling him a gay, you are the ones who are gays because you're just siting behind a computer screen judging someone else's life while he is on tour, making money, and doing what he loves. HATEONME.SORRYNOTSORRY

Okay, yeah he is young, but be proud of him to say this actually, cause it's true, it shows something about him, he regret all the stupid things he did, I am proud of him, I readed somewhere he has an antisocial disorder, being in Asking Alexandria performing and writing a book about his life can be a big step, I gues. So, people who say he has to die, well, commit suicide by yourself you wankers.

I think it's wonderful he's actually found something more than just being a man-whore. I personally wrote a poem about my life so far and I'm only 14. And yeah I'm just like Danny, questioning things around me for no reason and fck yeah I think I know it all because in reality I have a small glimpse into everything and I do know more that the average human. So please leave Danng Worsnop alone. It's his life he doesn't need you living it for him. - Jaclyn T

Here's a thought. All of you that posted shit bashing Danny, you obviously don't like him nor the band, DON'T fckING READ IT!!! For fcks sake you people really need to find a hobby other than reading about people you hate.

Lol, most of you jerks wouldn't dare say this to his face and if you did, he'd laugh, call you a wanker and tell you to fck off. Danny has every right to write a book. Don't be an ass just because he's doing better than all of you. fck all of you idiots; AA for life man.

You jerks are fcking stupid. If you hate on Danny Worsnop, you can step on a lego. Then go fck yourself. He's some bad things in his past, yes, but at least he's trying to fix it. Unlike most of you crack addicts that, because of your pathetic lives, hate on other people. Danny Worsnop is fcking amazing. I'M proud of him. I never thought he'd clean up his act and proved me wrong. I will definitely be reading the shit out of this book. Go Danny! AA for life!

I think it's really awesome how most of you are just setting here talking crap when you haven't read the book nor do you personally know him or what he has expirenced in his life. If you don't like it then don't read it, it's that simple.

Come the fck on you guys. he IS 21, and he is also rich and famous. So he can do what he wants. Stop whining like damn babies and grow up. He will get farther than all the rest of you jerks ever will. Sitting here criticizing shit. What are yall doing with your lives? Have you sold any albums? Have you made music videos? Sitting at a computer being a douche bag will get you absolutely no where. Go write a book and sell albums and THEN come and talk shit. - B

He isn't very humble but he is a good singer and he has done some amazing things, his music has helped a lot of people and is really good. If you comment and call him 'gay' or say he should die you should also have a reason behind it. I get not liking the book but don't be an ass about it.

he's saying that he has family and fans that love him, he's writing the book to tell how an ordinary person became not so ordinary. it's also to tell about his struggle with drugs and his triumph over the addictions. It's like an autobiography but with lessons to take from them.

I mean, Danny himself will probly never see this thread but in the unlikely event that he does, everyone who is telling him that he should not write this book or make music is just giving him the push and (more) desire to do it. If you don't want to see him be succesful, don't pour fuel on the fire. You need to learn how to deal with your "enemies" or the ones you despise the right way. Just thought I would throw that FYI out for the sharks here.

Most of you are wrong Danny is beautiful in every way possible. No one made you read this your all just haters looking for a way to bring him down and make him feel bad about himself. Danny doesn't give a fck about you and your rude comment he probably will never see theses comments anyway so stfu okay? Okay.
